No family has achieved more records and outstanding adventures in the air and in the water than the Piccards. Grandfather Auguste was the first man to venture into the stratosphere and then into the abyss of the oceans, father Jacques dived to the deepest spot on earth and son Bertrand was the first man to circle the world non stop in a balloon. The film of Laurin Merz and Otto C. Honegger follows the life of this extraordinary family and lets you take part in the adventures of three generations of outstanding explorers.
